When Greg Lind, NP, earned his doctorate in nursing in 1987, he  thought he 
would love moving from clinical practice to a teaching  job at the 
research-oriented University of Washington. He didn't.  
"It was a very challenging 2 years," Lind told ADVANCE. He  found the pace of 
discussion slow, and he missed seeing patients. So  he asked for permission 
to go back to practice 1 day a week.  
He quickly realized why the university didn't want research  faculty out in 
clinical practice: "because that was what I really  enjoyed," Lind remembers.  
Lind left the university and worked for 9 months in a clinic  setting. But he 
soon wondered why he was working for someone else  again. He knew that 
Washington's laws allowed nurse practitioners to  own their own practices, so in the 
summer of 1990, he found a prime  location, "I took a banker out for lunch 
and had a loan that  afternoon."
